# PredictCurrent vs DiveGenius

The clearest difference is rating: PredictCurrent at 4.5 against DiveGenius's 3.5. PredictCurrent also leads on ratings volume (255 vs 4) and chart position (#55 vs unranked). DiveGenius's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PredictCurrent sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month and DiveGenius sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PredictCurrent holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PredictCurrent has 255 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of PredictCurrent's written reviews are positive against 50% of DiveGenius's.

PredictCurrent ships an update monthly, DiveGenius weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
